Pros and cons of Scripps News app for iPhone and iPad
Scripps News app good for
Its really good. But I would like to see the text at the same time I hear the video.
As an ESL Professor I would love to suggest a few other activities that can be added to Newsy, that would very likely attract many more fans to your App!
Straight-to-the-point, unbiased, simple and useful news. Great job youre doing! Way gongo!!
Short unbiased straight-to-the-point news. Great to get to know about the latest news with Newsy!
my favorite app to stay informed by video news, watching it every day from overseas, Germany.
good job done, high5 to the maker...
I totally love the new newsy app look. Keep up the awesome way of bringing in the news.
Some bad moments
Newsy has a great concept. I am addicted and watch every day.
BUT the latest update is a disaster. Add that to the fact that the announcers cant pronounce ordinary English words (e.g. don) or foreign words commonly in the news (Intifada) or understand key elements of news stories (statutes of limitation).
So, its time for some tough love. One star. Fix the app and Ill revise my rating. Get an editor or something to smarten up the announcers and Ill give it five stars.
Final hint. Dont screw up your app then insist on being rated.
Loved newsy before the updated version broke the app. After watching 2 news stories, get black screen of death. Fire your programmers. It has been like this for over 2 months.
They couldnt leave well enough alone. Dont like the new design
THE OLDER VERSION OF NEWSY WAS PERFECTLY FINE AND THIS ONE IS NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL! ON THE CONTRARY, IT SEPARATES TEXT FROM VIDEO AND...DAMN IT!
I WANT MY OLD VERSION BACK!

Why can Newsy not include "AirPlay"and
"Chromecast" capability with their app. I can not give this app a good rating until these issues have been addressed.
New version hangs when trying to watch clips. And app jumps back to the homescreen from the live feed after a few seconds of viewing. Usually enjoy Newsy, but the app instability makes it impossible to use.
